Banking & Investment - Lincolnshire
Banking
All of us deal with the Banks at some time or other in our lives, however in business,
matters can become more involved and have a direct impact on trading.
Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business and we all need to work with the Banks
from time to time to assist and support it. However, we have to accept that such
assistance and support comes at a price and often security is required.
Whilst there is a perception that banking documentation is non-negotiable, this
is not always the case. It is important that you discuss the security structures
and requirements with us at an early stage. From our years of experience we are
used to dealing with documentation produced by the Banks as well as managing the
banking process by liaising with relationship managers and security centres alike.
It is crucial that you are comprehensively advised as to the key obligations and
liabilities in order that you can properly manage risk both within your business
and, sometimes, to you personally.
Whether you are refinancing with a bank, raising finance or restructuring, talk
to us as well as your bank, as only we can give you truly independent and impartial
advice.
Investment
It is increasingly common for businesses to look for alternatives to bank finance.
Venture Capitalists and private investors can provide useful injections of cash
into businesses and also much needed expertise, industry knowledge and contacts.
Quite rightly, shareholders can be concerned about relinquishing shares to a third
party and often complicated negotiations can ensue.
Our experienced and expert lawyers can cut through the jargon and often heavy
weight documentation and talk to you about the issues which matter to you: liability,
control and exit strategies. It is understood by our lawyers that throughout,
what can be a complex and legally technical transaction, you are creating a new
working relationship with someone, which on a practical level needs to work on a
day to day basis in order for business to thrive. All too often this can be lost
in the legal process.
Our Corporate Finance Team is on hand with, not only the technical experience and
knowledge to get the job done, but also with the business acumen to understand the
bigger picture. It is important to us that we work together to achieve the best
result for you and your business.
